Since then, there have been attempts to transmit electrical energy by radiating electromagnetic waves such as radio waves and lasers. Electric toothbrushes and some wireless razors that we commonly use are actually charged with the principle of electromagnetic induction.
현재까지 무선을 이용한 에너지 전달 방식은 크게 자기 유도 방식, 자기 공진(Electromagnetic Resonance) 방식 및 단파장 무선 주파수를 이용한 전력 전송 방식 등으로 구분될 수 있다.To date, energy transmission using wireless may be classified into magnetic induction, electromagnetic resonance, and power transmission using short wavelength radio frequency.
자기 유도 방식은 두 개의 코일을 서로 인접시킨 후 한 개의 코일에 전류를 흘려보내면 이 때 발생한 자속(MagneticFlux)이 다른 코일에 기전력을 일으키는 현상을 사용한 기술로서, 휴대폰과 같은 소형기기를 중심으로 빠르게 상용화가 진행되고 있다. 자기 유도 방식은 최대 수백 키로와트(kW)의 전력을 전송할 수 있고 효율도 높지만 최대 전송 거리가 1센티미터(cm) 이하이므로 일반적으로 충전기나 바닥에 인접시켜야 하는 단점이 있다.The magnetic induction method uses the phenomenon that magnetic flux generated at this time causes electromotive force to other coils when two coils are adjacent to each other and current flows to one coil, and is rapidly commercialized in small devices such as mobile phones. Is going on. Magnetic induction is capable of transmitting power of up to several hundred kilowatts (kW) and has high efficiency, but the maximum transmission distance is less than 1 centimeter (cm).
자기 공진 방식은 전자기파나 전류 등을 활용하는 대신 전기장이나 자기장을 이용하는 특징이 있다. 자기 공진 방식은 전자파 문제의 영향을 거의 받지 않으므로 다른 전자 기기나 인체에 안전하다는 장점이 있다. 반면, 한정된 거리와 공간에서만 활용할 수 있으며 에너지 전달 효율이 다소 낮다는 단점이 있다.The magnetic resonance method is characterized by using an electric or magnetic field instead of using electromagnetic waves or current. Since the magnetic resonance method is hardly affected by the electromagnetic wave problem, it has the advantage of being safe for other electronic devices or the human body. On the other hand, it can be utilized only in limited distances and spaces, and has a disadvantage in that energy transmission efficiency is rather low.
단파장 무선 전력 전송 방식-간단히, RF 방식-은 에너지가 라디오 파(RadioWave)형태로 직접 송수신될 수 있다는 점을 활용한 것이다. 이 기술은 렉테나(rectenna)를 이용하는 RF 방식의 무선 전력 전송 방식으로서, 렉테나는 안테나(antenna)와 정류기(rectifier)의 합성어로서 RF 전력을 직접 직류 전력으로 변환하는 소자를 의미한다. 즉, RF 방식은 AC 라디오파를 DC로 변환하여 사용하는 기술로서, 최근 효율이 향상되면서 상용화에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다.Short-wavelength wireless power transfer schemes, simply RF schemes, utilize the fact that energy can be transmitted and received directly in the form of RadioWave. This technology is a wireless power transmission method of the RF method using a rectenna, a compound word of an antenna and a rectifier (rectifier) refers to a device that converts RF power directly into direct current power. In other words, the RF method is a technology that converts AC radio waves to DC and uses them. Recently, research on commercialization has been actively conducted as efficiency is improved.
무선 전력 전송 기술은 모바일 뿐만 아니라 IT, 철도, 가전 산업 등 산업 전반에 다양하게 활용될 수 있다.Wireless power transfer technology can be used in various industries, such as the mobile, IT, railroad and consumer electronics industries.
